Like a Kid in a Candy Store


As lovely as our apartment is, one thing it lacks is a garden. Erika's been missing her yard and her plants and while we've enjoyed some beautiful flowers, our only plant has been a sad little pot of basil. That all changed this week when we found the local nursery. It's one square mile of all things green- it's huge, like a Home Depot devoted to gardening. So, now our little basil plant is no longer alone, Erika gets a house full of beautiful plants, and Rob still doesn't have to mow. Everybody wins!

No, "those" kind of plants are planted all over the city in big concrete planters and in the park and you can just help yourself as you see fit. Still, it's not as nice as it sounds- you have to supply your own papers.
